General Percival (Round Base)

General Percival was the commander of the British forces at Singapore when the garrison surrendered on 15th February 1942.
Along with the other senior British captives above the rank of colonel, Percival was removed from Singapore in August 1942.  First, he was imprisoned in Formosa and then sent on to Manchuria, where he was held with several dozen other VIP captives, including the American General Jonathan Wainwright in a prisoner-of-war camp near Hsian, about 100 miles (160 km) to the north east of Mukden.

As the war drew to an end, an OSS team removed the prisoners from Hsian.  Percival was then taken along with Wainwright to stand immediately behind General Douglas MacArthur, as he confirmed the terms of the Japanese surrender aboard USS Missouri (BB-63) in Tokyo Bay on 2 September 1945.
